We are witnessing the implementation of a progressive waste management regulation which is intended to help Scotland meet its sustainability targets.

Recent requirements for the completion of Pre-Acceptance Audits (PAAs) from all dental practices have heightened awareness of the need for a better understanding of the practicalities of appropriate waste segregation for all members of the dental team. Appropriate waste management is the single biggest contribution that a dental practice can make to help improve our sustainability credentials and more importantly comply with all the waste management legislation.
